SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 294,293, dated February26, 1884. Application filed August '1, 1883. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it' known that I, JOHN P. WALOH, of Sutro, county of Lyon, and Stateof Nevada, have invented an Improvement in a Combined Cigar and MatchHolder for Tables; and I hereby declare the' following to be a full,clear, and exact description thereof.

-M'y invention relates to new and useful cigar and match holder to beattached to tables-p section, showing my device closed under the tableto which it is secured.

A is aportion of atable of any kind-as, for

Y example, amd Orbnnardtabie. B isthehoidblock serves to elevate thelighted end of the cigar, whereby it is prevented from burning theholder, and may be better laid down and more easily taken up. In thesides of this cigar chamber or groove are made apertures or openingsa,which provide for the discharge 'of the ashes, which, by the aid of asuitable small brush, .may be forced out without removing the holder. 14

This device may be made as ornamental as i desired, and as many may besecured to the table as convenience requires. A

vI am aware that receptacles for cha-lk are in use on billiard-tables;but these are not adapted to receive'cigars and matches, and cannot beused for that purpose, as they have not the capacity nor the shape tocarry out this purpose.

I am aware that it is not new to attach cigar and match holders totables; nor do I claim such, broadly, as my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In combination with atable, A, the holder a chamber, c, for "matches,and an elongated .chamber,'d, for acigar, said chamberd having a centralblock or piece, e, and side apertures, a, substantially as hereindescribed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

JOHN I). WELCH.
